Who this course is for:

This course is for mental health professionals - for mental health professionals who work with - or would like to be in a position to work with - people diagnosed with bipolar disorder:- psychotherapists; psychiatric nurses; counsellors; psychologists; social workers; psychiatrists; social care workers; GPs; occupational therapists; art therapists, for example.

If you or someone important to you has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, or for your own reasons you want to understand bipolar disorder, click here to access my "Bipolar disorder: Cracking the code" course for the general public.

I created this course because the prevailing understanding of bipolar disorder is inaccurate and distorted, including the training that most mental health professionals receive. In this course, I provide the understanding and information that should be included in all mental health professional training courses.

hard to put into words how incredibly useful all your presentations were. You

idea. The title is very apt."

Your Instructor

Dr. Terry Lynch

Terry's own life experiences and his life as a mental health activist, medical doctor, psychotherapist and mental health author have brought him to a level of understanding of mental health that is unusual if not indeed exceptional.

Terry Lynch has played a prominent role in mental health both nationally and internationally. For a nine-year period, he was appointed by the Irish Department of Health and Children to key national mental health groups - The Expert Group on Mental health Policy (2003-6) which formulated A Vision for Change, Ireland’s official mental health policy document; The Independent Monitoring Group for A Vision for Change (2006-9); the Second Monitoring Group for A Vision for Change (2009-12).

Terry Lynch was the only mental health professional to be appointed to the three Groups named above. In addition, he was also appointed by the CEO of the Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) to the Irish Health Service Executive's Mental Health Expert Advisory Group (2006-8).

"For the past ten years or more, Terry Lynch has been one of the very few doctors within the medical profession in Ireland who has been prepared to question the psychiatric understanding of and approach to human suffering. Would that there were more
enlightened doctors and psychiatrists in the country”.

Dorothy Rowe, British-based psychologist and author:

“Often grassroots ideas inspire people, who would otherwise have lived quietly, to do great things. One such person is Terry Lynch, an Irish GP".
